This total parenteral nutrition calculator provides an empiric dose for the macronutrients included in a TPN formulation. In addition to providing an initial recommended dose, you may alter the contents of each macronutrient while maintaining a specified daily caloric requirement.
Children under 3 years of age should have their teeth brushed by an adult. The use of fluoridated toothpaste in this age group is determined by the level of risk. Parents should consult a health professional to determine whether a child up to 3 years of age is at risk of developing tooth decay.
Be gentle, but make sure you brush all around the tooth. You will need to continue to brush your child's teeth until he/she is old enough to hold the brush safely (even then you will need to supervise). Current recommendations are to see a dentist when the first tooth erupts but no later than 1 year of age.
